Rep. Eugene Vindman, VA-7, held a fantastic town hall tonight.

It was packed to the rooftops with passionate liberals making important points about federal workers, federal programs, how the most vulnerable among us will be at risk, etc.

I am so impressed with the answers he gave to questions..I could easily imagine him running for President one day. (Oops, forgot he was born in Ukraine. Darn.)

So proud of my representative and so proud of my fellow citizens of VA-7.

This was the first town hall my husband and I ever went to…these are extraordinary times that call for all of us to be engaged in whatever way we can be.

8. I'm trying to find a list of upcoming town halls so I can see who is giving them

I don't see where there's a website tracking all of them ie. weekly upcoming town halls. Its' nearly impossible to be checking all of the reps gov't sites nearly each day. By luck I caught AOC's live. I would still settle for a comprehensive list of the ones previously/recently held .. maybe a youtube channel?

Anyone who may have info, would love to hear from you

9. Did he have any suggestions for how to save ourselves? Wyden does great town halls also but no answers on how we save

10. None outside legal means, of course. Says public pressure has worked, keep engaged, keep up the pressure.

11. I would not expect any politician to advocate for what I fear might eventually become necessary.
